Default which car to choose?

my work lets us rent a used car on the lot for a low price which includes insurance and all maint. for a certain amount each mont and i have a few to choose from i will start from lowest to highest.

05 rx-8 with about 44k miles on it for 194/month
02 boxster s with 36k on it for 196/month
06 MB slk 350 with 19k on it for 209/month
06 STS-V with 10k on it for 261/month
06 escalade with 18k on it for 275/month

i have narrowed it down to these choices and i am leaning more toward the STS-V just because it would be more roomie and conforatble(sp?) ride and still have power. but i think the rx-8 would be fun and alot cheaper! what would you guys choose?

I'd beat up an STS-V for under $300 month, that's cheap!

STS-V is definitely the best deal of those choices. I'd go for that, unless you really want a sports car

well my DD right now is an 01s4 that is paid off but i spend about 250-300 dollars a month in maintence!! i wouldnt sell the audi just cause i love it! but it would be nice to not put any miles on my cars and just drive the dealers cars! i think im going to take the STS-V too but i want to make sure im going to like it because there is a minimum of 6months i can have it. i also run the risk of somone buying it while im driving it which i would have to turn it in immediatly! also forgot to mention i have to be carefull about mileage. im not sure on the mileage limit but i know that i would only be able to drive to work and only a little bit when not working so i wouldnt be ablle to just cruise it.

I'd take the Boxter S. But the STS-V would be a sweet ride too.

it sounds like your audi is a money pit.

I'd prefer the BS, but like most OP said the STS is a better deal. plus you may not want to wail on the car (since you don't own it) maybe thats not an issue?

I'd hit any of those cars (except the slade), do they all have slush-boxes? (curious)

STS-V for $261/month? How many months is that?

They go for $72k+ brand new...
